T0 all whom, t 71u57/ concern,..-

Beit known that I, CHARLES T. FULLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Olean, in the county of Oattaraugus and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Inverted Gas-Burn ers g and I do hereby declare the following to kbe a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification. j

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in incandescent gas-burners; and the object of the invention is to produce a device of this nature in which the burneris inverted and in which a perfect combustion is afforded, and consequently a brilliant light.

The invention consists, further, in a device of this nature in which a bunsen is provided which is held in a horizontal position and provided with a collar near the end and a cap having an irregular-outlined opening which catches the force of the gas as it takes the combustion and spreads the flame wide enough to fill the mantle.

The invention consists, further, in various details of construction and arrangements of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is avertical sectional view through my improved burner. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the globe-supporting ring and the brace secured to the latter. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the mantle-supporting ring, and Fig. 4 is an end view of the cap which fits over the end of the bunsen and showing a star-outlined opening therein.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a pipe having a threaded socket A, designed to lit over a fixture, and B is a needle-cap which is threaded to the pipe A, with which it communicates, and C designates a needle-valve the point of which regulates the exit O through the tapering part of said cap.

D designates a Bunsen tube having air-in- `allowed to iit over the end 4of the bunsen.

let apertures D about its circumference adjacent to the tip O.

designates a collar which is mounted upon the contracted portion of the Bunsen tube, and F, is a bracket-armiixed to said collar and bent at right angles at the point G, where it is fastened to the globe-sup orting ring H. K is a curved brace fastene at one end to the sleeve F and its other end secured, by means of a rivet or other fastening device, at I to said band. J designates a globe the upper end of which is held by the set-screws J to said band H. Theinner end of the Bunsen tube is bent downward and has a flaring end O. Lugs O project from the outer surface of the flarin end of the bunsen, and Q designates a mufiiing-collar which is positioned in the end of the burner-cap.

P designates a cap having a star-outlined opening P in the end thereof, said cap beinlg R designate lugs projecting from the outer surface of said cap and provided for the purpose of supporting the mantle-holder S, having series of spurs or lugs S, which are slightly upwardly curved and adapted to receive the asbestos or other string T for the' purpose of supporting the mantle W.

From the foregoing it will be noted that by the provision of the ap aratus shown an inverted bunsen is affor ed having the inner end of the bunsen provided with a collar, whereby the orifice may be choked and give a direct downward flow which is caused to swell and mellow the flame and filling the mantle with a brilliant light.

What I claim isl. In combination with an inverted-gasburner tube, the downwardly-curved end ofl which is flaring, a cap fitted over the lower end of said burner-tube and having bayonetslot connections with the latter, a muflingcollar within said cap, a mantle-holder comprising a ring having slots in the inner periphery thereof adapted to receive lugs upon said cap, and spurs projecting from the outer marginal edge of said ring upon which a mantle is adapted to be supported, as set forth.

2. In combination with an inverted-gasburner tube, the downwardly-curved end of which is flaring, a cap fitted over the lower end of said burner-tube and having bayonet- ICO slot Connections With the latter7 a muingl shell, and a globe-supporting ring iXed to collar Within said cap, a mantle-holder oomsaid arms, as set forth. 1o prsing a ring having slots in the inner periph- In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my ery thereof adapted to receive lugs upon said signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
